fire was discovered among some cotton in
Press No. 5, which is west of the railroad
tracks, and contained 1, 200 bales II spread
with great rapidity, and was soon beyond
the control of the men who were on duty,

was sounded the flames had spread TO the

the south, and which contained 5000 bales.
The entire department of the city respond

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov 16.-The most M.

known in many years occurred on her
streets to-day, when Thomas NJ. Green, OF

nue. under Collector Thomas NJ. Bronston,
of the Eighth District of Kentucky.
The difficulty grew out of some
letters published in that paper over
the signature of Keith" exposing alleged
frauds in connection with the election in
Jessamine County. The two men met in
the street and after few words, Green
turned to walk away when Baldwin
reached for his revolver. Five shots were
then exchanged between the two, one Of
which passed through the heart of Bald
win, causing almost instant death. One
shot took effect in Green's side, but the
wound was not serious. Green is under
arrest.

instantly. They refused at first, but Mon
